Kidd Brewer’s "RALEIGH ROUNDUP” , A person close to state, administration said the Other day, “If Bert Ben nett doesn’t change his mind he •will be a candidate for governor next time." This is a little different for the usual approach to the situ ation. Uusually, it is expressed in terms of the faicf that such and such a person is considering taking the plunge, and'may decide to do so. This seems to Jte. a case of* Ben nett haying already decided to run. If this is true, then this means that Governor Sanford h^a decided to support him. This reasoning is due to the fact that someone else might get elected without the support of Sanford, hut Bennett cannot. If Sanford did not support his campaign manager and the person whomjte selected as head of,the Democratic Party, then they would indicate that he did not feel that his own friend , was qualified. This ■would hurt. So we can take it that since Bennett would liave, to have the support of Sanford, and since it is said that he is going to run, then we can assume that he has been as sured of Sanford’s support. Former Governor Hodges waited too long to Jnake up his mind whom -to support. When he finally did settle on Malcolm Seawell, it was too late. Sanford, apparent^, is not going to make the Same mistake. TYPOGRAPHIC ERROR . . . When the late Clyde R. Hoey was Governor he underwent a hetaiia -operation caused when he attempt ed to lift one of his bed room win dows. The next day one of the pap ers reported, ‘'Governor HoeyVun derwent a hernia^ operation caused -when he attempted to lift a widow in Ms bedroom in the mansion.”. rAVtwrrvp •can’t understand all they have heard shout the matter of scheduling the Trade Fair in Charlotte alt the .■same time as the State Fair in Ral* eigh. President Kennedy was sulp rposed to. be in' the state at thait time and would be available to attend the Charlotte Fair. That, in itself .-still does not seem sufficient rea son for the conflict" — at least that is .the reaction around Raleigh. NOSTALGIA . . . Someone sent us -a clipping from the Columbia, S. C. COLUMBIA RECORD, listed und er "thirty years ago.” The item said in part, "Miss Faith Brewer,' a .sophomore at the University of S. ;C. does not know which side of the field to sit on Saturday when -the .Gamecocks play Duke. Her 'brother,, Kidd Brewer, is Captain of die Duke team.” This reminded us-that thirty years .-ago this fall -Wallace Waiter fielded his first Duke football team. For the following twenty years Wade dominated the football picture in this state as no one had done be > fore or has done ,since. Coach Wade could probably have been elected Governor of North Carolina at the height of his coach ing career at Dt*e. The papers and radio played up his every move Vand statement. Ifef? (For Mm N. C. Bar AimlaMm) d * '■' v'. ,, Libel and Slander Is k a crime to publish maliciously matters which tend to blacken the memory of a dead person? Yes. It is a, crime to write and publish defamatory matter of any deceased person if it is done with the • evil purpose of injuring his family-and posterity, and to expose them to contempt, and disgrace. The chief reason for punishing offenses of this nature is their ten dency to breach of the peace. Al though the person may be dead‘at the time of the publishing of the libel, yet it stirs up others of the same family, blood or society to revenge and to break the peace. May there be a. recovery of damages in a civil action for the defamation of a dead person ? No. The law has not seen fit to give a legal cause of action for de famation of a dead person. There are many criminal actions which do not give rise to a recovery of damages in a civil suit. May there be a recovery of damages in a civil action for slander or libel of a living person ? Yes. < i May there 'be a recovery of damages in a civil action for the slander or’libel of a living person? Yes. There Is a complete defense, however, if the defendant 'satisfies the jury that the facts are, true,- y'\ ■ A North Carolina statute stipu lates that before toy action, dither criminal or civil, is brought for slander or libel against a newspap er, periodical, radio or television station, the plaintiff or prosecutor must give a written notice of at least five days specifying in detail the alleged false and defamatory statements. '• ' Also' by statutes in North Caro lina a newspaper, periodical, radio, or television station may, under certain conditions, lessen its crim inal or civil liability by an appro priate reaction. RESTRAINTS ON MARRIAGE Patents conveyed real property to their daughter, Cora, by means of a fee simple or absolute deed, containing the following provision: “It is understood and agreed be tween all parties herein that if the said Cora G. Jones marries, this property reverts back to the grant ors, their heirs and assigns.” Cora subsequently married. Did Cora cease to be the sole and absolute owner of the property ? No. The policy of ,the law is to encourage marriages. It frowns upon provisions in contracts and conveyances in general restraint of marriage. This was an actual case before the Supreme Court of North Carolina. The court said: “It is the principle very generally recognized here and elsewhere that, when an estate has been definitely conveyed to anoth er, a condition subsequent, in gen eral restraint of marriage, will, as a rule, be disregarded. A husband under the terms of bis will left a house and land to his widow subject to a provision that if she should remarry, the house and land should revest in his heirs. His widow some years later 'remarried. Did she thereby lose the title to the house and land? Yes. Restraints against remar riage by widows and widowers are a well-established exception to the general rule. This policy of our law is some what akin to the rule of the Federal Social Security Daw, which stops payments upon the remarriage of a widow. THURSDAY Thru SATURDAY Oct. 12th. thru 14th.
